ABC is a human rights organization working for the promotion of women's and children's rights, with a special focus on the prevention of violence against women and trafficking in women/children for the purpose of sexual exploitation. ABC was the first organization in Nepal to bring attention to this issue and to work at sensitizing the various segments of society to this gross violation of human rights. They advocate for gender equality by promoting women's education and economic empowerment and raising awareness about the social and political issues that affect women the most.

Minimum age of the volunteer is 20 and should have atleast education of high school.
Volunteers can help by:
Depending on the background and skill of the volunteers, jobs range from office assistance/computer training and work with staff, website maintenance, program proposals and funding development.
If a volunteer has a background in psychology/counseling they will have an opportunity to work directly with the target group. If they have a medical background they may be able to assist in one of the small community clinics,
and if they have an agricultural/handicrafts background, that will be utilized too. Because of the broad spectrum of work that ABC does it is difficult to be specific.
